OK, maybe it has become a photographic cliche, but I was looking forward to going to the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire in Manheim this past weekend. It has probably been more than ten years since Lesley and I attended. And as we entered the grounds we knew immediately that this event had grown considerably since our last attendance.
But one thing has stayed the same. The actor participants are a lot of fun to photograph and to interact with. As are many of the attendees. It is sort of a Comicon kind of event with many of the attendees in costume and in character. It truly is a photographer's venue and I tried to make the best of it.
In this garish and freewheeling atmosphere it is easy to walk up to anyone and ask for a chance to photograph them. In some cases those in front of the camera are not shy about striking poses and expressing their characters. It is really great fun. You always meet some very interesting people.
